Easy Method To Prevent Apples From Browning

BunSnoop — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 00:14:22 GMT

I'm trying to incorporate more apples into my diet.

I purchased some sliced green and red apple slices from Walmart. The expiration date on the package was good - almost 7 days after the date of purchase. Opened the package last night, put the apples in a Tupperware container and this morning they're already turning brown.

What is an easy method that works for you to keep sliced apples fresh for snacking?

@BunSnoop The best method that I know is to buy the whole apples and cut when ready to eat.I am sure it is more expensive when someone else cuts them and it is simple to do.I read that you can put lemon juice on the apple to stop browning but I haven't tried it.

I cut an apple in slices and then in chunks and take them to work everyday. I sprinkle lemon juice. But you will taste it which I don't mind because I salt mine. I cut them at night and put them in an airtight bowl. They don't brown.

I expect opening the package caused the apples to oxidize and that turned them brown. Maybe they were supposed to have been eaten after opening the package, and opening the package was supposed to take place within 7 days of receipt.

Citrus acid will stop fruit from turning brown. You can sprinkle them with orange or lemon juice or buy a product called Fruit Fresh. Fruit Fresh is in powder form. It is usually found in the canning isle of the store.

I pack my DH sliced apples a few times a week. I slice them into a container of water with a little fruit fresh. Then drain and dry the fruit off a little and pack in a lunch container. They are always perfect.

I use Fresh Fruit too. I inherited a lifetime supply from my mom.

Soak apple slices in a cup of water with a tablespoon of honey mixed in. I store them in a Ziploc bag and they will last for almost a week.

@BunSnoop

I buy the sliced apples at Walmart that are in the clear plastic container, it's a good sized container, and they never turn brown. I'm sure they used citrus so they won't turn, but they stay nice in that container till the very last slice... It sounds like that's what you bought so I'm surprised they turned.

I’m not the OP but I like to have something easy to grab that’s healthy. For some reason I’ve never liked eating an apple in my hand and I seldom eat a whole one.

They turned once opened and placed in Tupperware overnight, because they oxidized and the Tupperware sealed in the oxidized product. It was probably fine but did not look nice.

You really didn't know that they would turn brown ?

Re: Easy Method To Prevent Apples From Browning

BunSnoop — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 21:26:31 GMT

Yes, @Group 5 minus 1 I really did know they would turn brown - that is why I have not purchased them for a long time and was asking for helpful suggestions to keep that from occurring.

Costco used to sell packs of apple slices that were not bad, but THB an apple has perfectly good packaging naturally so I stopped buying them.

best alternative is to cut them up and put them in some lemon water, but after a while they apples really don't taste as good, look for the smallest apples you can find and eat those

I never liked the taste of lemon juice on my fresh cut fruit. So I pour citrus soda (7-up, Sprite, etc.) over the fruit and it does not turn brown.

pour a small amount of lemon juice into a water and wash your sliced apple there.. the acid from the lemon will prevent the browning, or rubbed a small amount of lemon juice directly into the apple slices. you can also try pineapple juice for this
